      1. There is a growing recognition of the importance of indirect effects from hunting on wildlife populations, e.g., social and behavioral changes due to harvest, which occur after the initial offtake. Nonetheless, little ...
    • The Brown bear as a translational model for sedentary lifestyle-related diseases 

      Fröbert, Ole; Fröbert, Anne Mette; Kindberg, Jonas; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Overgaard, Michael Toft (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Sedentary lifestyle accelerates biological ageing, is a major risk factor for developing metabolic syndrome and is associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, kidney failure, sarcopenia and osteoporosis. ...
    • Using partial aggregation in spatial capture recapture 

      Milleret, Cyril Pierre; Dupont, Pierre; Brøseth, Henrik; Kindberg, Jonas; Royle, J. Andrew; Bischof, Richard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
